kday Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 As long as the BIOS in your laptop supports booting from external drives, it shouldn't be a problem. And yes, laptops work. I am posting from an AMD 3700+ SSE3 Laptop (External monitor hooked up), and everything runs fast and great.. Itunes, Photoshop, etc. except If it weren't for the lack of ATI drivers, I'd be 100% satisfied. If I use my laptop without an external monitor, I am stuck in Vesa mode with resolution stretched to widescreen. Not very pretty. Good luck, and welcome to the OSx86 project Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2482-need-info-please/#findComment-16088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
